Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the Network Driver Interface Standard (NDIS) implementation in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, and Windows 7 SP1 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Windows NDIS Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."

Desbordamiento de buffer en la implementación de Network Driver Interface Standard (NDIS) en Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 y R2 SP1 y Windows 7 SP1 permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios a través de una aplicación manipulada, también conocida como 'Windows NDIS Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

The attached testcase crashes Windows 7 32-bit due to a pool buffer overflow in an ioctl handler. Enabling special on ndis.sys netio.sys and ntoskrnl helps to track down the issue, however it will crash due to a bad pool header without special pool as well.
